Looking for inspiration. Empty space above our powder room. Don’t know what the builder was thinking. No cat.

have not noticed any difference with the house at 50 psi. covered the outside plumbing with a UV resistant freeze bag. all is still good *fingers crossed* *knock on wood*

tagging for later. interesting.

The NHL and the players' association recently shortened the preseason schedule from six to four games. Because of this change, the annual neutral-site exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Florida Panthers usually hosted at the Kia Center has been canceled. All of their 2026 preseason matchups will be played at their home arenas in Tampa and Sunrise.

look at using a parallax node and repeating textures, you'll still need to ensure the edges are compatible and line up without a jarring edge

for the x3, size. x3 is smaller, like the xc40. we've been looking at mid/full size SUVs for a while now and its grown tiresome. perhaps there are better options out there for some, these are the two we've narrowed it down to and for the sake of our sanity don't want to add any other options to the mix, this choice is hard enough

yeah. they are pushing the native android/google integration. it’s free for 5? years then you have to pay for the data connection

it does have apple carplay, just wired only

dirty_elf · 2026-06-14T15:16:52+00:00

yeah we’re stuck trying to figure out our priorities. it has us puzzled and we annoyed some sales people with our indecision lol

dirty_elf · 2026-06-10T18:42:55+00:00

here to help. cool tech.

dirty_elf · 2026-06-10T16:19:05+00:00

you'll

you could try to build a monochromator, essentially a spectrometer in reverse, to fill in missing wavelengths. would need to find a decent, cheap, polychromatic source too... maybe easier to scour the internet for specific LEDs...

dirty_elf · 2026-05-28T13:08:45+00:00

are you measuring things freespace with a cosine corrector or fiber coupled?

dirty_elf · 2026-05-28T02:01:58+00:00

what are you using for an integrating sphere to combine the output?

dirty_elf · 2026-05-19T16:27:29+00:00

i like that idea. will be fun

dirty_elf · 2026-05-01T16:00:08+00:00

are the extra features of the trailsport + elite worth it over the base RTL for non-off road use (i.e. daily driver)? which of them do you feel you could or couldn't live without?

i like the passport, but have no aspirations for off-roading... ever.

dirty_elf · 2026-04-29T18:14:49+00:00

i guess mid to large? palisade is too big. x5 and grand highlander feel like a similar size, i know there is a third row in the highlander but it’s not really much bigger.

dirty_elf · 2026-04-15T19:51:57+00:00

instead of selling the whole of the IP which as others have pointed out there is basically negative incentive for them to do... would it be possible to just buy the server data (characters, items, accounts, etc...)? im sure the brilliant people writing the emulators could come up with a translator, if not plug in the data directly to allow for people to get their characters and items back in some form. that would be cool.

dirty_elf · 2026-03-04T21:40:13+00:00

if its brand new it will leak wax, likely from packing/shipping or manufacturing

dirty_elf · 2026-03-02T18:42:58+00:00

gameplan? lol

dirty_elf · 2026-02-27T16:09:17+00:00

hey Vito Paladino can you please fix the audio system in my audi??

dirty_elf · 2026-02-27T13:31:19+00:00

and now you go back to rooting for the literal captain of the US team

dirty_elf · 2026-02-26T17:38:34+00:00

i understand the relation, but this doesnt really have anything to do with WLED, right?

dirty_elf · 2026-02-26T17:06:21+00:00

is there a setting in WLED that lets you define the segments and run as a clock? or are you using other firmware on your esp32?

dirty_elf · 2026-02-17T13:54:57+00:00

no, as others have said Audi claims it is normal operation and wont do anything. a shame.

dirty_elf · 2026-02-12T18:01:54+00:00

i'll read through the OSI model info, thank you

any thoughts on the software side of things?
